Turned off the "Calendar subscriptions" feature but existing links still work
What you are seeing
You've turned off the "Calendar subscriptions" feature, but the iCal feed links people created before you switched it off still work.
#Why it happens
The switch only stops people creating new links. It doesn't revoke the links that have already been handed out, so those keep working until you revoke them.
#What to do
You'll need to be a Confluence administrator for this.
Go to Confluence settings → Capable → Calendar.
In the "Calendar subscriptions" card, select Revoke all.
The existing links stop working, and with the feature turned off, nobody can create new ones.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Calendar subscriptions | Confluence settings → Capable → Features (Capable Calendar → Features in the standalone app) | "Let users subscribe to Capable calendars from Google, Apple, or Outlook via a personal iCal feed. Turn off to disable subscriptions for all users." Only appears when the installed app includes the Calendar capability. Turning it off stops new links being created. Links already handed out keep working until you revoke them. |
Calendar (global settings tab) | Confluence settings → Capable → Calendar | A card called "Calendar subscriptions" listing the personal iCal feed links your users have created, with user, calendar, status and created date. The list is paged with Previous and Next. Use Revoke all here to cancel existing links. Only Confluence administrators can see the list. |
Calendar capability visibility | Space settings → Capable → capability list → Calendar | Auto shows the Calendar byline where it's relevant. In the Suite, that means only on pages Capable has already indexed as having dates. Always turns Calendar on for the space, and Never hides it there. It works the same way as the visibility setting for every other capability. |

"Dates" column and the Calendar panel badge in Capable Search show fewer dates than the page has
Both count only the dates Confluence itself recognises, not Capable Event macros.
Switched all the event types off, but the calendar still shows everything
With no event types selected, the filter is not applied at all, so all sources are drawn.
Everything else
The rest of this family.
Found it? Good.
